We’re delighted to share that Strike Graph has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance!

This achievement – in conjunction with our SOC 2 Type 1 compliance — lets all of our customers know they can have full confidence that we’re keeping their data secure. It verifies that our processes and practices have passed a rigorous, third-party audit that closely examined our infrastructure, software, personnel, data, and procedures over a twelve-month period.

Why does SOC 2 Type 2 matter?

  • Soc 2 Type 2 compliance proves a company has implemented security controls across its entire organization and that it’s monitoring these controls regularly.
  • Strike Graph’s platform helps companies (including ours) create a culture of compliance.

One of the more common trust assets verified by a third-party, SOC 2 is critical for growing your business. For our customers, SOC 2 Type 2 means we’ve taken that extra step to implement security controls across our entire organization and that we're monitoring these controls regularly.

And, while we boast a number of security experts on our team here at Strike Graph, our customers can rest assured that these controls were examined and confirmed by an independent auditor and were deemed effective in terms of the Trust Services Criteria — In other words, don’t just take our word for it!

Show your customers you're committed to a culture of compliance — contact us to schedule a demo.

 

Beyond the obvious benefit to you as a customer — the peace of mind that comes with knowing you can trust Strike Graph to maintain the security of your company’s information — undergoing our own SOC 2 Type 2 compliance process helped us become even more deliberate and organized about our security, creating a stronger culture of compliance.

It's one thing to think about security. It's another to invest in understanding and articulating how that security is implemented across the organization. Because SOC 2 Type 2 compliance requires such thorough documentation, it ensures companies have a comprehensive approach to maintaining a security posture over time. This culture of compliance benefits our team — and yours.

We didn’t just create the software for SOC 2 — we use it.

  • We know what it’s like to be in your shoes — because we use our own platform to maintain and grow our security compliance, including SOC 2.
  • The Strike Graph platform let us identify exactly which risks our team needed to address, simplified controls and evidence, and got us into SOC 2 Type 2 compliance quickly.

Since launching Strike Graph in 2020, we’ve helped hundreds of companies accelerate growth and increase revenue through our stress-free, tailored approach to SOC 2 compliance. We’re proud of our platform — which is why we use it for our own security compliance needs, too! Completing our SOC 2 Type 2 compliance process on the Strike Graph platform was a great reminder of how easy and fast security compliance can be with the right tools.

The initial Strike Graph risk assessment showed us exactly which risks we needed to address in our unique business context. Then, we chose appropriate controls from the extensive Strike Graph library of ready-made SOC 2 controls. Finally, we assigned evidence collection across our team so that no one person was overburdened by the compliance process. And, we left the evidence reminders to the AI, leaving our heads clear for other tasks.

From start to finish, the Strike Graph platform ensured we were doing everything that was needed — and nothing that wasn’t — in the most efficient, pain-free way possible.

Why it pays to build a culture of compliance

  • Security certifications are a trust asset — they assure your customers that you are keeping their data secure.
  • Using Strike Graph to establish a strong cybersecurity stance gives you a competitive edge and sets you up for future growth.

Trust is something that’s earned, but it’s delicate — it can be broken beyond repair in the blink of an eye. This is especially true in the world of technology. A data breach can easily cost a company millions of dollars. But even more critical, it can damage the company’s reputation.

At Strike Graph, we're not just talking this talk. We're investing in our own cybersecurity systems because our customers’ trust is important to us. If you show your customers this same commitment to security, you'll see that it not only gives you an edge over other companies in your industry but also improves your processes and services, saving you time and resources as your organization grows.
